50 Best Diners near Richmond Hill

“Exceptional food and service with a classic diner atmosphere. Outstanding breakfast! 🥞“

“Delicious Diner.

Exactly what you expect when you picture a diner. No frills, cheap, and exceptionally average food. It gets the job done, with the kind of gritty atmosphere you’d expect from a place that’s been serving neighborhood regulars for years.

I had the cheeseburger, while the person next to me was chowing down on chicken parm and spaghetti. The cheeseburger tasted like it came straight out of the freezer. It reminded me of the kind I used to get at the bowling alley as a kid.

10/10 recommend. Will return.“

“Dishes packed with flavor and texture. My favorite was the Zorba, everything is high quality and balance of flavors. We got the blueberry pancake and it was fluffy and heavenly.

The ambiance of the place is perfect, with every detail thought through and music perfect to have as background noise. Loved it!“

“The food and service here are amazing. I can confidently say that I’ve never had a bad experience coming here. The food is great, the drinks are great, and everything is reasonably priced.

I highly recommend the huevos con chorizo if you come to brunch here. Shout out to the waitress and bartender that were serving me & my wife during the Norway vs England game. They were very attentive and friendly while we were watching the games (didn’t catch their names unfortunately).“

“Good food & service, very clean, and parking.“

“Instantly became my favorite diner spot in NYC on first visit. Solid coffee. Breakfast burritos were my favorite! Also ordered Parmesan truffle fries and lemon ricotta pancakes that were decent, minus the wow factor. Scrambled eggs were perfect.

Small space. We waited 15 minutes on a Sunday morning before 11am. Our waitress was super impatient/borderline rude, yet I left knowing I will be coming back again.“

“Today June 24th I had lunch here with a friend. It was my first time. Passed this cafe but never tried it. Well the food was delicious, prices reasonable and the waitress Eloise was delightful! I had vegetable quesadella. My friend had an egg white vegetable omelet with hash browns. The portions are generous! Our waitress Eloise made the dining experience here pleasurable. Would definitely go back!“

“Left this diner feeling like a regular after just one visit. The owner has the kind of personality that instantly makes you feel at home. That energy runs through the whole staff, who were friendly and genuine. Had the wings and the Philly cheesesteak, both items were great. Between the hospitality and the cooking, this place is a gem. I’ll be back.“

“Vegan and GF options with tons of flavor. I’m not even vegan but highly encourage people to give their options a try. They help me easily choose something good for my health and the animals while still getting full and satisfied. Love having them here“

“Please make your next night out at Crispin's. I came here on a Friday night on a fluke because it was raining and got sangria to pass the storm. It quickly turned into wine, free bread, and the best pappardelle bolognese I've had (and priced so well at $18 for fresh pasta). The owner was so great, and I genuinely hope his business succeeds as much as he was so nice to me. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Miriam was excellent. Super attentive and hospitable.“

“The food was ok, but the service felt rushed. The staff kept coming to our table every couple of minutes, and as soon as we finished eating, the check was placed on the table. It made us feel pressured to leave rather than enjoy the experience.“

“It's 2026 and you get a great super filling breakfast at a price you cannot imagine!
Toast, 2 good size hash browns and 2 eggs just for $6! Big coffee mug just for $2.
Great vintage ambience and warm staffs. You guys are amazing and wish you all the great things!“

“Good food not excellent service“

“Carlos was the best server ever!!“

“Delicious food. You get a lot of food for the price. Great NYC diner!“

“We had breakfast there. The food is really good. The staffs is very friendly.“

“muy buena la comida a muy buen presio.“

“This place is a real gem. It’s quick, the service is great and it’s very efficient – exactly what you’d expect from a breakfast spot“

“Hit the spot. I had the “Mexican” Omelette with added ham. Along with what looks to be actual home fries made from actual non processed potatoes.. not the chopped up store bought kind.. Either I was exhausted from walking all day and it being 2 AM, or this food was just that good! Never the less, I will definitely be eating there again!“

“We started with the blueberry pancakes for something sweet. Growing up on Long Island, pancakes were a priority for a diner. Here, their pancakes are very similar to what I grew up eating. They are very fluffy and the rendered blueberries in the pancake batter give a very nice sweet/acidic contrast. They were perfect.

The chorizo burrito was very creamy and every bite was enjoyable, thats the description I will use. The home fries were very well seasoned using an even amount of peppers/onions with the potatoes.

The chorizo benedict was great. The hollandaise sauce was different in the sense that it didnt taste like a traditional benedict sauce. Traditionally the yolk and the vinegar are the stars of the sauce. This sauce had a different taste that made those two ingredients not that star. The saltiness of the chorizo on top was fantastic, mixing with the creaminess of fresh avocados and perfectly poached eggs. The muffin was also perfectly toasted.

Overall, an amazing local restaurant and I will be coming back for sure!“

“Everything about this diner was great. Food, service, cleanliness. Would definitely go back on my next trip to New York!! 🍔🍗🥓“

“I came here regularly when the original owner George was in charge. Charming guy who stopped what he was doing to yell Hello to everyone who walked in. The food was regular diner food that he elevated. Huge portions and decent price. He retired or left and people who worked for him took over. I rarely go now. Food is decent but prices went up and portions are smaller. The servers are good and personable. Place seems to always be busy since there are several schools and offices in the area. Still decent but you don't get as much value for your money and no charm and personality from George.“

“The menu looks great the write up about the food is promising. The problem I see is with your training of your staff. That falls on the management. The management is setting up their employees to fail. Train your staff, hold yourself accountable, you as a manager is to train your staff, to your standards and expectations. If you have staff members who will not or cannot meet your expectations of doing the job, if they cannot or will not follow instructions, you need to terminate them that includes family members. It sounds harsh, I know jobs are hard to get in the Philippines. That is more of a reason to train your employees to do the job to their best.“

“Ate the Chicken and Waffle Brunch! Yummy! The wait staff kept my coffee cup filled the entire time I was seated at my table. Wonderful diner!“

“It’s such a yummy spot on Metropolitan Avenue in Middle Village!

The service is always good. The staff are always friendly. I have never had a bad meal here - after many many times at the Metropolitan Diner.

The only negatives are the difficulty parking (welcome to Middle Village) and the sometimes long wait (but, that’s what you get when the food is superior)!“

“When wandering around looking for a lunch spot we found this place! We watched a local elderly couple walk in and that was a good sign. Service here is attentive and friendly. The vibe here is casual and old school. Nice interior. I just had an iced tea so my family ate. The food s straight ahead, nothing fancy but has all the staples. My family got some amazing salads, Cobb salad and Chicken Cesar salad! Come here for a yummy meal. Very local vibe!“

“Dined here several times, the food was always well cooked and filling, the service was friendly and attentive. The prices are also reasonable. Will be back!“

“ate there for the first time and loved it - the service was great as was the food - we got a reccomondation from from a lady at Howard Beach diner lol“

“Hospitable staff. Great Cheeseburger Deluxe. Fries weren't greasy. Lettuce and tomato was fresh. Coffee was good. Bathroom was clean.“

“BEST TURKEY CLUB IN THE WORLD!!!“

“We stopped here after a visit to the MET. The place was small but there seemed to be ample seating throughout. Service was good and food came out pretty fast. Portions were large and food was good!Would visit again!“

“Excellent food...excellent people“

“Neptune Diner is the best. I usually go every Sunday to have a cheese burger. Specifically I usually get the Neptune Burger with the bacon and grilled onions. Their menu is extensive and there’s something for everyone. Our server Nico is very friendly and fast. The food comes out just minutes after we order, I love it. I would definitely recommend Neptune to anyone looking for a quick and delicious bite to eat!“

“I love everything about this place. They deliver to my house when I’m lazy on Sundays and I brought two of my kids there and they’re very picky and they love it. Also, the quality of the food you would think that the prices would be way more than they are. This place is a hidden gem. I don’t understand why it’s not packed all the time.“

“Good coffee ☕️ lots of options“

“Ever since I was little, I would go to this restaurant so many times. I have so many fond memories. Even eating it today, it brings back memories of when my mom would take me and my siblings to eat there for dinner. At the time, they would close much later than they do now. Thankfully, I'm already walking home by 2 pm, and since I live close by, the delivery was nice and fast. The food is always delicious, generously well priced, and the customer service is always really nice. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger that came with fries, along with an extra side of onion rings. That came up to $20 on the dot, and with the portions they serve, I was more than happy with that price. I have, and I will continue to go to this amazing restaurant. I highly recommend it if you're in the area.“

“Great people Good food Very nice place“

“The Atlantis Diner located in Babylon is a commendable option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The Diner maintains a clean and reasonably spacious environment. The staff members are amiable, and the food quality is satisfactory. We enjoyed breakfast for dinner, and it was delightful.“

“The food is always delish at Good Eats their portions are huge and I a brunch special today Breakfast in bed it was amazing took half of it home!!!!“

Their breakfast is delicious - their French toast is a must have btw- and their burgers are great as well as the wraps, food is always served hot and quickly. As for delivery, they always exceed expectations because the food is always earlier than the suggested time and the drivers are very kind and friendly! Definitely recommend visiting, you won’t regret it!! They also have the best servers - Cleo and Aly are the absolute BEST ?“

“Great service, food and atmosphere“

“The staff were warm and welcoming, and I really loved the atmosphere. It felt genuine, cozy, and full of local charm. I truly enjoyed my breakfast here.

The Mexican omelet and hash browns tasted fresh, natural, and comforting, with simple, honest flavors.

A special thank-you to the staff for their kindness and trust. I sincerely apologize again for my mistake and truly appreciate your understanding.

Love and peace! ❤✌“

“I have been coming to George's for many years now whether it is for dine-in or take-out. I have always gotten fantastic service and great food. The staff is warm, welcoming and treat every customer with the utmost respect. The restaurant itself is very clean, even before our current COVID situation. They take this pandemic very seriously and they make sure that they follow all the protocols suggested by the CDC and our State Government. They have been in business for over 60 years and I hope that this institution will be around for another 60+ years. #supportlocal“

“My favorite restaurant. They always have the best food and very generous portions. There is nowhere else like Perry’s. The owners and the staff are just the nicest most friendly people. Feels more like you’re dining with family than in a restaurant. Highly recommend eating there.“

“Stopped in for breakfast. Food was good and everything was fresh. I'm a type 2 diabetic so I asked for substitutions for potatoes and toast. They were very accommodating. My only complaint was that it was a bit pricey for those accommodations and for breakfast. I think it was $30 something dollars for a 3 egg white veggie omelette, no cheese, and a substitution of lettuce and tomato for potatoes and toast. I also had a side order of cottage cheese along with a hot coffee. I don't know. Maybe that's just the prices in New York City these days.“

“We visited on a Sunday morning, and although the restaurant was quite busy, we were seated promptly and our orders were taken without delay. I ordered the French toast with eggs, and the meal was excellent. The prices were very reasonable, and the quality of the food exceeded expectations. I will definitely be returning, and this restaurant will become a regular spot for me.“

“staff is amazing food is always on point, they know just what I want when I walk in! And they are so inviting!! My everyday breakfast spot! One day while sitting there they were preparing a skirt steak and my mouth was salavating! I need to come back one evening and take that to go !“
